Though not specifically mentioned in the Breaking News, Azjol-Nerub and Perenolde are also Offline with the rest of the above mentioned realms. It's pure speculation on my part, but I believe they are also having maintenance performed on them.

Newest Update
All realms appear to be coming online now. I won't be updating this post until tomorrow morning, if it's even needed then (hopefully not). Thanks everyone for contributing to keeping Blizzard as well as the WoW population informed.

Thank you, Rhazz, our Technicians are aware of the issue and are working on it.

We should have a Breaking News posts fairly soon regarding the issue and I'll try to provide what updates I can.

Q u o t e:
Don't 'Breaking News Posts' generally mean something drastic? :(

Like perhaps emergency maintenance?

Just curious thanks.

Sometimes, Exodarius. I'm just passing on the information I was able to get. I'll give you more as soon as I find it out. :)

Q u o t e:
I can confirm Crushridge is up and working as it should I created a test toon there, so hmmm wonder why rest of "Cyclone" isnt up

It's not up yet, our technicians are trying to bring the realms back online slowly.

Several other Cyclone realms are currently online, more will follow. :)

Q u o t e:

Any comment on azjol-nerub? I still haven't seen it listed anywhere but it is down.

Both Perenolde and Azjol-Nerub were simply left off the list when the Breaking News was posted. Nothing ominous. :)

They are among the realms that our Technicians are working to bring back online.

Q u o t e:
Vrak...bring Suramar back up!

If I had a choice, Nolrem, it would be online and accepting players now! Realms are coming back online slowly though, and Suramar is on that list. :)

Q u o t e:
Well ain't this special? Now according to the log-in screen, I have no toons on Perenolde.

Should I be frantic, or amused?

I vote for amused. You have 10 characters of varying level on Perenolde. :)
